If you used the module so far with ``default_branch`` to update a project, the value of ``default_branch`` was ignored. Make sure that you either do not pass a value if you are not sure whether it is the one you want to have to avoid unexpected breaking changes (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7158). - selective callback plugin - remove compatibility code for Ansible 2.9 and ansible-core 2.10 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7269). - vardict module utils - ``VarDict`` will no longer accept variables named ``_var``, ``get_meta``, and ``as_dict`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6647). - version module util - remove fallback for ansible-core 2.11. All modules and plugins that do version collections no longer work with ansible-core 2.11 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7269). bugfixes: - CmdRunner module utils - does not attempt to resolve path if executable is a relative or absolute path (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7200). - MH DependencyMixin module utils - deprecation notice was popping up for modules not using dependencies (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6644, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6639). - bitwarden lookup plugin - the plugin made assumptions about the structure of a Bitwarden JSON object which may have been broken by an update in the Bitwarden API. Remove assumptions, and allow queries for general fields such as ``notes`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7061). - cmd_runner module utils - when a parameter in ``argument_spec`` has no type, meaning it is implicitly a ``str``, ``CmdRunner`` would fail trying to find the ``type`` key in that dictionary (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6968). - cobbler inventory plugin - fix calculation of cobbler_ipv4/6_address (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6925). - composer - fix impossible to run ``working_dir`` dependent commands. The module was throwing an error when trying to run a ``working_dir`` dependent command, because it tried to get the command help without passing the ``working_dir`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/3787). - csv module utils - detects and remove unicode BOM markers from incoming CSV content (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6662). - datadog_downtime - presence of ``rrule`` param lead to the Datadog API returning Bad Request due to a missing recurrence type (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6811). - ejabberd_user - module was failing to detect whether user was already created and/or password was changed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7033). - ejabberd_user - provide meaningful error message when the ``ejabberdctl`` command is not found (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7028, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6949). - github_deploy_key - fix pagination behaviour causing a crash when only a single page of deploy keys exist (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7375). - gitlab_group - the module passed parameters to the API call even when not set. The module is now filtering out ``None`` values to remediate this (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6712). - gitlab_group_variable - deleted all variables when used with ``purge=true`` due to missing ``raw`` property in KNOWN attributes (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7250). - gitlab_project_variable - deleted all variables when used with ``purge=true`` due to missing ``raw`` property in KNOWN attributes (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7250). - icinga2_host - fix a key error when updating an existing host (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6748). - ini_file - add the ``follow`` paramter to follow the symlinks instead of replacing them (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6546). - ini_file - fix a bug where the inactive options were not used when possible (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6575). - ipa_dnszone - fix 'idnsallowsyncptr' key error for reverse zone (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6906, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6905). - kernel_blacklist - simplified the mechanism to update the file, fixing the error (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7382, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/7362). - keycloak module util - fix missing ``http_agent``, ``timeout``, and ``validate_certs`` ``open_url()`` parameters (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7067). - keycloak module utils - fix ``is_struct_included`` handling of lists of lists/dictionaries (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6688). - keycloak module utils - the function ``get_user_by_username`` now return the user representation or ``None`` as stated in the documentation (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6758). - keycloak_authentication - fix Keycloak authentication flow (step or sub-flow) indexing during update, if not specified by the user (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6734). - keycloak_client inventory plugin - fix missing client secret (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6931). - ldap_search - fix string normalization and the ``base64_attributes`` option on Python 3 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5704, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7264). - locale_gen - now works for locales without the underscore character such as ``C.UTF-8`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6774, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5142, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4305). - lvol - add support for percentage of origin size specification when creating snapshot volumes (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1630, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7053). - lxc connection plugin - now handles ``remote_addr`` defaulting to ``inventory_hostname`` correctly (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7104). - lxc connection plugin - properly evaluate options (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7369). - machinectl become plugin - mark plugin as ``require_tty`` to automatically disable pipelining, with which this plugin is not compatible (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6932, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6935). - mail - skip headers containing equals characters due to missing ``maxsplit`` on header key/value parsing (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7303). - memset module utils - make compatible with ansible-core 2.17 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7379). - nmap inventory plugin - fix ``get_option`` calls (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7323). - nmap inventory plugin - now uses ``get_option`` in all cases to get its configuration information (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7119). - nmcli - fix bond option ``xmit_hash_policy`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6527). - nmcli - fix support for empty list (in compare and scrape) (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6769). - nsupdate - fix a possible ``list index out of range`` exception (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/836). - oci_utils module util - fix inappropriate logical comparison expressions and makes them simpler.
